David Carson: 

David Carson was born in 1952 and has traveled all over the world since birth. His first contact with typography and graphic arts was made in 1980 at the University of Arizona on a two-week graphics course.  By the 1990’s, he became renowned for his inventive graphics.  Carson became the art director of a style magazine named Ray Gun, where he featured layouts of distortions of typefaces, making them nearly illegible. His contributions to the Ray Gun magazine made Carson stand out as an artist. 
In 1995, Carson founded his own studio and started to attract clients. His clientele includes Pepsi Cola, Ray Ban, Nike, Microsoft, Budweiser, Giorgio Armani, NBC, American Airlines, Levi Strauss, AT & T, British Airways, Kodak, MGM Studios, Fox TV, Mercedes-Benz and numerous others. 
In 2004, Carson became the Creative Director of Gibbes Museum of Art, designed the special “Exploration” edition of Surfing Magazine and directed a television commercial for UMPQUA Bank. Carson is ultimately credited for popularizing the English style.
